The old man blinked and said slowly, "I have a home, but everyone in my family is dead. If I go back now, I won't be able to walk properly and there will be no one to take care of me."

"Then, you can stay at the clinic, we'll pay for it!"

An Miaomiao would rather spend more money than have him stay at their house.

It wasn't that she disliked him for being dirty, but rather that she was afraid her mother and the others would find out and scold her.

And another thing.

She felt that this old man was not someone to be trifled with.

The old man snorted and said, "I think you just want to ignore me..."

An Miaomiao: "!"

If they really didn't care, they would have left long ago.

Will you bring him to see a doctor?

You heartless, filthy old man!

An Wanwan realized that the old man had become their crony, but she didn't know what he wanted to do.

She thought for a moment and said, "Alright, since you don't want to stay at the clinic, then you can stay at our house. But I have to make it clear to you first, our house is not in town, it's in a small village."

"knew."

The old man didn't say much, as if he didn't care.

After the old doctor bandaged the old man and prescribed medicine.

An Wanwan hailed an oxcart and paid someone to help lift the old man onto it.

He injured his leg bone and it was just bandaged up. The doctor said it's best not to move the leg now, since they can't support him properly, so this is the only way.

On the way home.

An Wanwan, still not knowing the old man's name, asked in a calm tone, "Sir, I don't know your name yet, could you please tell me?"

"Your sister calls me 'old man,' so you can just call me 'old man' then."

The old man was lying down and didn't move.

Upon hearing what he said, An Miaomiao slapped his sore leg with one hand.

"You fierce girl!"

The old man propped himself up and sat up to check his legs.

An Miaomiao rolled her eyes at him and said, "You don't seem to be in much pain. Let me tell you, I've studied medicine. Don't let me see anything wrong, or you'll be in big trouble."

"A doctor's heart is supposed to be benevolent. You're a medical student, who are you trying to fool?"

The old man implied that An Miaomiao's harsh treatment of patients was not typical of someone who had studied medicine.

An Miaomiao choked for a moment and said, "Others are others, and I am me."

She has quite a personality.

Since she knows medicine, why doesn't she treat herself instead of going to a clinic?

It seems so.

Her medical skills are something that cannot be revealed to others.

The old man lay back down without making a sound. Before An Wanwan could ask any more questions, he said his name: "My surname is Wu. You can just call me Old Wu."

An Miaomiao raised an eyebrow: "Didn't I say I'd call you old man?"

"You might want to, but I won't..."

After replying to An Miaomiao, Old Wu closed his eyes and hummed a tune. He didn't look like an injured person at all.

If their old house hadn't been gone...

An Miaomiao would definitely take him to live in the old house. Now there are only new houses in the village, so she had no choice but to take him back to live in the new house.

When I saw that their house was a brick and tile house.

Old Wu was somewhat surprised, but then he thought that they were all good-looking, and An Miaomiao was skilled in medicine, so how could they be from an ordinary family?

Thinking of this.

Old Wu was no longer so surprised.

Su Yueniang and the others are all in town; there's no one at home.

Make sure he is settled.

An Wanwan asked An Miaomiao to accompany her, and she took an oxcart to town, since all the children lived there.

Su Yueniang and the others were unaware that Old Wu had come to their house.

She had to tell them first.

They picked up several wet nurses and children.

An Wanwan came to the shop with them. It was a busy time when they arrived, so she asked a few wet nurses to take the children to the back room first, while she stayed in front to help An Dafu and the others with their work.

Liu Shi never stayed in town. Today, she went back with An Wanwan's family in their oxcart, just like usual.
